I am proud to announce our SUP Race Fin Collection.
Last year, we refocused our energy on product development. With competitive racing slow to return, we had unprecedented access to athletes on Maui—including multi-time APP World Champion Connor Baxter.
After countless hours of in-depth testing and development, we are thrilled to be launching two all-new innovative fin designs – Ray v2 and Tiger v2. The collection also gets a visual makeover with enhanced graphics that offer a clean and cohesive look.
With a total of five high-performance SUP race fins in this year’s collection, each fin delivers superior speed, stability, maneuverability and unmatched quality for all paddlers—from newbies to World Champions.

REDESIGNED RAY V2 — OUR BEST-SELLER
The new Ray v2 replaces our best-selling design and has been carefully refined based upon countless hours of research, development and detailed feedback from Connor Baxter. The Ray v2 has been updated to feature our new deep foil concept, which enhances tracking and stability while also improving fin fit on a range of boards.
Additionally, the new curved outline more effectively sheds weed and trash, while simultaneously improving foot steering. All together, these new features produce that unrivaled tracking and stability you’ve come to expect from Black Project, but now with more speed, better maneuverability, and improved weed shedding. This design is a big upgrade over previous models, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback.
UPGRADED TIGER V2 — THE WORLD CHAMPION'S FAVORITE
The new Tiger v2 replaces the most successful fin in competitive racing history. The top choice for many athletes as a reliable flatwater race fin, the Tiger v2 blends the tracking of our bigger fins with the speed and efficiency of the smaller Condor.
The new higher aspect outline, reduced cord length and optimized foil have led to improved maneuverability and speed. This fin is a favorite of our team due to its ease of use, especially on narrow race boards.
